Smartphone usage has skyrocketed, and some advertisers have begun to experiment with aggressive, new techniques to display ads on mobile devices. This includes pushing ads to the standard Android notification bar, dropping generically designed icons on the mobile desktop, and modifying browser settings like bookmarks or the default homepage.

Because each of these techniques can display an advertisement outside the context of a specific application, it's very difficult for users to know exactly which app is responsible for any given ad. Lookout Ad Network Scanner & Detector provides a method for users to determine which ad network and application are the sources for such ads.

It's also common for ad networks to collect information that identifies a specific device or user for use in targeted marketing campaigns. Much like for browser-based ads, this practice allows users to see more personalized or relevant ads. Despite permissions-based information access, it is often difficult for the users to understand what aspects of their information are collected by ad networks.

Lookout Ad Network Scanner & Detector gives you insight into what types of ads can be displayed, and what information is gathered by the ad networks. With easy access to this information, you'll be able to decide whether you want to keep the app that has certain ad networks on your phone. We've designed Ad Network Scanner & Detector to make the practices supporting mobile advertising more transparent to the average user.

Lookout Ad Network Scanner & Detector is currently only available in English; and is not a replacement for Lookout Security & Antivirus.

Downloading Lookout Security & Antivirus (http://ap.lookout.com/SH3m) is the best way to keep your phone & tablet safe from malware and spyware,back up your data, and locate, scream, lock, or wipe a lost or stolen mobile device.

Effective Good, generally works but user interface could be improved. Tends to quit without any error messages when apps number above 400 (at least for my 2 Prev galaxy s2)

Won't work on my sgn4 I keep getting the " unfortunately ad network has stopped. " as soon as it is finished scanning. Unfortunately I'm going to have to uninstall it and find another one because I need to get rid of Android cube .mobi ads that keep coming up on my chrome browser.

I gave it a 5 star rateing off the bat. Due to haveing many spywares and now ONLY relying on and haveing ALL lookouts protection spyware protection/apps. My phone has NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. Great addition to my optimus Lg9. Only recomend premium version for a business owner otherwise the free version works excellent. 100% recomended by android users.

Still Great Been a year since I've used this app to find the annoying culprit who was spamming my notification bar, and this app still does the job! 5/5~

Very Informative This appears excellent and it does give loads of info and I would have given it 5 stars except I was looking for a way to opt out of getting the popup notifications. It gave me a list of the apps and the network that did this - fantastic!! but 1/ - they were my favourite apps 2/ - an opt out app was given but it then gave me an opt-out option which DIDN'T work !! :( Worth looking at though and I will continue to see what all the brill info can do for me.

Hangs with large # of apps For the past few months the app now locks up with a black screen after completing the scan. Even the "About" button hangs. This used to work great but no longer, even after a reinstall and cache/data clear. Samsung Galaxy S4 latest Verizon 4.4.2 OS.

QUICKLY NAILS SKUM BAG APPS!! This has been a priceless tool for nailing downloaded apps that air push annoying junk adds on your status bar or screen! Don't just delete them and blow it off... GIVE THEM HELL BACK with a NEGATIVE RATING!

Review ● fail to display even a list (goes back to scan options straight away) 90% often. ● needs a maintenance release for new or changes as app is near 11 months old! ● a 500+ apps bug (applicable for devices with 16gb+) ● Add/ improve jelly bean support (4.1.x and 4.2.x)

Very helpful. As always. :) Lookout strives hard to provide us with competitive, if not, the best of security services in the market - free market. Always does as it says, no hidden agenda, simple, straight forward & as efficient as it gets. If not for this app i wouldnt have been aware of the all of the adwares and sneaky devil apps that possibly compromise our privacy & security. For the benefit of others though, this app does not remove them. It points to us which app brings what ads and gets what info. So that we can remove it.

App always crashes When scanning my apps it never finishes since it always crashes before it scans all of my installed apps. This app states i have 334 apps installed bit i only have 157 installed. This app crashes every time when it gets just above 300.

Needs work or an update... This app has to be missing SOMETHING because right after I ran my first scan, (which said nothing had permission to put ad's in the notification bar), the same flippin ad that's been driving me crazy popped up, AGAIN, and tried to send me to the play store, AGAIN!! Frustrating... &gt;=/

Didn't work for me. I'm a fan of the main Lookout security app, but this app did not do the job. Like some others have suggested, I turned to Norton Ad Detector and it found the offending app immediately.

Bad App or Just Spam I have got Lookout and it's perfect and I decided to give this app a chance since it's by the same people but as soon as I downloaded it, forced closed 4X in a row. What's the point if it never finishes scanning? WASTE of time!

Crashes all the time! Great idea. Completes scan. Provides a list with how many apps are doing what. If you press on a category to see which apps... Presto! Goes back to scanning all over again. Bug renders the program useless at the moment. Thanks, though, the idea is great.

Gets stuck every time at 92% I didn't give the app 1 star just on the strength of Lookout's usually strong quality of apps. Had to use AppBrain Ad Detector to do the job. Still would like to use this product to contrast if a rep would lend assistance...

Disappointment I use Lookout security which is unbelievably good. But Ad Network is dire. Scans, neither reports positives nor that it found no offenders, black screen, freeze, battery pull, uninstall. Major disappointment based on expectations set by quality of other app. EDIT: Ah...just realised Lookout Labs is NOT Lookout Mobile Security who provide the excellent Lookout Security & Antivirus. Teach me to do better quality research before I load an app. And not to be fooled by 2nd rate devs using icons similar to the blue chip companies that do provide quality software.

Doesn't find everything This app isn't that bad, it just doesn't find everything. Norton has a similar app that was able to find apps that this did not. Not only did it find more but the ones it found that this did not were the worst of all that included push notifications (ads in the toolbar, not just inside the app) which are far more annoying. I understand free apps will have ads in the actual app, but all over my phone? Lookout, I use your anti virus so please address this as my confidence isn't all that high right now. SGN2

airpush This app brought me to the opt-out airpush app. I don't think opt-out worked, but when I ran this lookout app, the airpush app started came up. confusing? idk, but now I have a headache. This app is great though, thank you lookout.

Awesomely handy I completely understand that ads are required to support developers and keep apps free but I draw the line at notification bar ads and unfamiliar new icons on my home screen. This app not only detects the apps but also allows you to opt out of the particularly annoying ads if you do not kind giving your imei to the ad network. If you do, you can still just uninstall the app.

Unsupported on my "new" Xoom This app does not work on my Xoom tablet running Android 4.1.2, which isn't all that new.. Support informed that it was a known issue with new devices, and that I would need to use Lookout; apparently that would require paying for the additional functionality. This needs to be clearly stated in the product description.

Absolutely amazing!!! If I could give this app more than 5 stars I would! Random apps such as "hold 'em poker" and "slot-i-mania" were downloading on my desktop screen and random advertisements were popping up in my pop-up bar. But this app did the job! I no problem found the app, which turns out to have been downloaded in a place that I never would have found it. I downloaded this random app a long time ago and this lookout app found it no problem!

Won't complete a scan, only crashes It will no longer complete a scan. It crashes every time rendering it utterly useless now. It makes it 80 or 90% thru before crashing without being able to give any help or useful info. Uninstalled.

Great help to non tech savy user This app is amazing!! the explanations of the ad networks were great to help me identify and uninstall the apps with annoying ads that showed in my andriod notification bar.

Awesome I was riddled with ads in the notification bar and I had no idea why. My battery life was failing just because of the dreaded star appearing in the corner and waking my phone every few minutes. Not anymore. So very thankful that this exists.

My favorite app I can't say enough positive things about this app. It gives me highly useful information that allows me to effortlessly identify the apps that are suspect not using industry standard technology etc and allow me to make informed decisions about whether I want an application installed on my phone. Never again will I have to sit and wonder what those apps I installed are telling people about me or which app is sending adds to my screen. I LOVE this app.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant The most amazing point about this app is IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL PERMISSION TO RUN. AND the most amazing second point is IT HAS DONE DEVELOPED THIS APP with such a Brilliant way to display which add dies what and how. OMG amazing KEEP IT UP.. Love this app and kudos to the developers. Cheersssssssss......

Works great. I wondered how I could find out which apps were putting ads in my notification bar and on my desktop then I read about this app in the comments of another app.(thanks dude,whoever you are)Anyway,I got rid of 4 apps guilty of it thanks to this app,one of them that gives notification ads is too good to let go of at the moment though,but I have my eye on it now:-)

no more annoying spam!! this is great. thank you for creating this and helping me eliminate pointless apps that clutter my phone with annoying pop ups and "special offer" junk. will recommend to everyone i know.

"Block it!" is a DNS resolution and IP network blocker that does not require root access. It lets you block Internet requests of apps based on DNS names by refusing to resolve them to an IP address, or by blacklisting IP addresses and networks.

There are many uses for DNS resolution and IP blockers, but the most prominent uses are getting rid of ads in both browsers and apps, and protection against malware sites. Please note that "Block it!" does not block anything by default; it is your choice what you want to filter, and yours alone. There is a live log of all DNS resolution requests that you can use to determine what you want to block; you'll be surprised what your phone accesses all the time. You can also use blacklists available on the Internet (in "/etc/hosts" format, Snort format, and many others). To get you started, just click "add all lists" in the welcome dialog; you can always remove lists again later.

"Block it!" uses the VpnService API and therefore does not need root access. When you start the app for the first time since reboot you will be asked by Android whether you want to permit the VPN service. Rest assured that we do not redirect any traffic; all we do is catch DNS requests and filter them before we forward them to your device's configured DNS servers, and redirect blacklisted IP traffic to the VPN interface where it is simply dropped. When "Block it!" is active, a key symbol will be displayed in the status bar -- Android's way of reminding you that you are using a VPN service. We cannot do anything about it.

Please note that you cannot run "Block it!" while you are using any VPN service. This includes "Your Freedom". However, "Your Freedom" includes blocking features too so you don't need to use both at the same time.

"Block it!" is free and we do not pester you with ads. If you find that it makes your life easier please click on the "thumbs up!" symbol in the action bar to learn how you can help us.

Free your phone from potential concerns and ads! This app detects all annoyances of apps installed on your phone, such as Push Notifications, Desktop icon spam ads and apps with privacy concerns. It identifies the adware and spyware and allows you to then remove it.

- Helps you to get rid of annoying ad notifications and bookmarks on your desktop.- Become aware of what apps have permissions to access your messages or accounts and could thus invade your privacy, or can use services which could cost you money, and helps you with their removal.

This app detects over 70 different aspects of apps, including:

- Concerns such as Push Notifications (both ads and non-ads), putting spam icons on your desktop, and privacy related concerns such as the ability to access your location, contacts, messages or accounts.

- Android Ad Networks; this app tells you which ad networks are embedded in apps, such as Admob, Millennial Media, ChartBoost, TapJoy and many smaller ones. Indicates which ones may have push ads.

THIS APP DOES NOT *BLOCK* THESE ADS. It only tells you which applications are causing them. You must uninstall the applications this app identifies to stop the ads.

THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PAID OR "PRO" VERSION OF THIS APP. If you find an app with a similar name, description, and screenshots, odds are strong they have simply taken the source code and republished it as their own without any significant changes.

If you experience crashes, using Android's "Report" feature is likely to get it fixed. Leaving comments without any useful information is not :)

This app is open source - see the development page for full source code.

Security researchers have recently determined that a number of consumer mobile devices contain pre-installed software from Carrier IQ. While this software appears to be designed to help mobile network operators improve coverage through metrics tracking, it does not provide a clear opt-out path for users. Additionally, it can be difficult for non-technical users to determine whether or not their handset is affected.

We've developed the Carrier IQ Detector to aid in this process in an effort to keep mobile users fully informed about what their phone is doing.

Note: This application does not remove Carrier IQ software from your device. Because Carrier IQ software is deeply integrated with handset firmware, users would be required to attain special device privileges in order to remove it. Side effects of this process have the potential to put users at further risk of malware infection while making devices ineligible to receive firmware updates in the future.

If you are sure you know what you are doing and would like to remove Carrier IQ software from your phone, there are a number of guides available online.

If you have made previous attempts to remove Carrier IQ software from your device, our Detector may still report its presence. This can be caused by incomplete removal attempts that do not remove all relevant files.

Both of the permissions are only used if you choose to share your results with us. CM users may revoke both permissions and the app will still function.
